Answer:
the answer is 201.06
Step-by-step explanation:
4.5(4-x) + 36 = 202 - 2.5(3x + 28)
Distributive property
18 - 4.5x + 36 = 202 - 7.5x - 70
Combine like terms
-4.5x + 54 = -7.5x + 132
Add 7.5x to both sides
3x = 78
Divide both sides by 3
x = 26
16 - 5(3t - 4) = 8(-2t + 11) <em>use distributive property</em>: <em>a(b + c) = ab + ac</em>
16 - (5)(3t) - (5)(-4) = (8)(-2t) + (8)(11)
16 - 15t + 20 = -16t + 88
36 - 15t = -16t + 88 <em>subtract 36 from both sides</em>
-15t = -16t + 52 <em>add 16t to both sides</em>
t = 52
$10 because 2 and 3 add together and subtract 15 equals 10
